This article has no history on either the Defense Nuclear Agency or the Defense Special Weapons Agency that preceded DTRA - in fact, it has zero pre-Cold War history - but pages for those agencies redirect back here. Either these agencies need separate pages, or the DTRA article must be greatly expanded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.229.244 ( talk) 00:20, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
I marked this page for cleanup because the article repeats itself over and over again. It looks like 5 people tried to write the article and just decided to include all 5 versions one after another. For starters, maybe the missions statement should only be quoted once?
I am moving tangentially related material about the Defense Enterprise Fund (DEF) to it's own article page and cleaning that information up. The DEF has an interesting history, but it is a separate issue. The information provided also seems to come from two sources: the official Dept. of Defense Inspector General reports, which meet Wikipedia's standard of verifiable, reliable outside sources; and unverifiable original research written by the individual that edited the Wikipedia article (portions of the entry are copied verbatim from his own blog entries [1] and clearly violates the rules set out on the Wikipedia:No_original_research article that states: "Do not add unsourced material from your personal experience, because that would make Wikipedia a primary source of that material." - User:Danisteg 13:59, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

DTRA was formed by combining some DoD agencies, including the Defense Special Weapons Agency. DSWA was a successor to the Defense Nuclear Agency. So, DNA did have a Cold War mission. DNA changed their name to DSWA, which was then assimilated into DTRA. Hope this helps - I'll change the page accordingly. - new user, 20 March 2006
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency came into being in 1998. This means that it did not have a mission during the Cold War. It was formed from previous agencies, some of which did have such missions. Its history should be expanded. I will be revising this article shortly to be consistent with the DTRA web page. Robert McClenon 16:52, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Rumors also exist that the Defense Threat Reduction Agency maintains invasion plans for Canada and Mexico, should either of those countries destabilize into a government unfriendly or hostile to the United States.
It is my understanding that these plans exist. I have no idea who maintains them. I had not known until now that DTRA was one of various US agencies about whom there were conspiracy theories. (Conspiracies do exist, but most theories about them are nonsense. Some of them are true, but most are not.) Robert McClenon 02:08, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
I think that I accidentally snipped the opening paragraph when snipping the accuracy banner. Thank you for restoring it. Robert McClenon 00:13, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
